Philippians 3
1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is not irksome to me, and for you it is safe.
Finalman, frè m yo rejwi nou nan Senyè a! Pou m ekri menm bagay yo ankò pa yon pwoblèm pou mwen, e se yon pwotèj pou nou menm.
2 Beware of those that are like dogs, beware of evil doers, beware of the concision.
Veye chen yo, veye ouvriye mechan yo, veye fo sikonsizyon an.
3 For we are of the true circumcision, who worship God in spirit, rejoicing in Christ Jesus, and having no confidence in the flesh.
Paske nou menm se vrè sikonsizyon an, ki adore nan Lespri Bondye a, e bay glwa nan Kris Jésus, e ki pa mete konfyans nan lachè.
4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other thinks he hath whereof to trust in the flesh, I more:
Byenke mwen menm ta kapab gen konfyans menm nan lachè. Si gen nenpòt lòt moun ki gen lide pou mete konfyans li nan lachè, mwen menm bokou plis ke sa:
5 having been circumcised on the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of Hebrews, with respect to the law a pharisee,
sikonsi nan uityèm jou a, ne nan nasyon Israël la, nan tribi Benjamin an, yon Ebre a Ebre yo; selon Lalwa a, yon Farizyen;
6 as to zeal persecuting the church, as to the righteousness of the law blameless: but those things,
kòm zele, yon pèsekitè legliz la; kòm ladwati ki nan Lalwa a, ki twouve san fot.
7 which were once gain to me, I counted loss for Christ.
Men nenpòt bagay ki te benefis pou mwen, mwen konte bagay sa yo kòm pèt pou koz a Kris la.
8 Yea doubtless and I count all but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all, and I account them but dung, that I may gain Christ, and be found in Him,
Anplis de sa, mwen konte tout bagay kòm pèt an konsiderasyon ak piwo valè ke m konnen Kris Jésus a, Senyè mwen an. Pou Sila mwen te soufri pèt tout bagay yo, e konte yo kòm fatra, pou m kapab genyen Kris.
9 not having my own righteousness which is of the law, but that which is by the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: that I may know Him,
E pou m ta kab twouve nan Li, pa avèk ladwati pa m, ki sòti nan Lalwa a, men ki soti pa lafwa nan Kris la, ladwati ki sòti nan Bondye sou baz lafwa a.
10 and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable to his death;
Pou mwen kapab konnen Li, ak pouvwa a rezirèksyon Li an, ak lamitye a soufrans li yo, ki fè m konfòme menm a lanmò Li,
11 if by any means I may attain to the resurrection of the dead:
pou m ta kapab rive menm nan rezirèksyon a lanmò a.
12 not that I have yet won the prize, or am already perfect: but I press forward to acquire that perfection, for which also I have been apprehended by Christ Jesus.
Se pa ke m rive la deja oubyen ke m vin pafè deja, men mwen ap pouse pi rèd pou m kapab rive sou pèfeksyon sa a ki te fè Kris Jésus mete men l sou mwen an.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have attained it: but one thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to those before,
Frè m yo, mwen pa gade tèt mwen kòm youn ki rive sou li deja, men yon sèl bagay ke m fè; se bliye sa ki dèyè e lonje pa devan pou sa k ap vini an,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
mwen pouse rive vè objektif la, pou m genyen pri wo apèl Bondyenan Kris Jésus a.
15 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, attend to this: and if in any thing ye think differently, God will reveal this also unto you.
Konsa, otan nan nou ki pafè, annou gen menm panse sa a. Epi si nan nenpòt bagay nou pa reflechi konsa Bondye va osi revele sa a nou.
16 But in what we have attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
Sepandan, nan menm fòs ke nou deja reyisi, annou kontinye viv pa menm prensip ke nou fin atenn deja a. Annou toujou gen menm panse.
17 Brethren, be imitators of me, and observe those that walk as ye have us for an example.
Frè m yo vin swiv egzanp mwen an, e swiv sila ki mache selon modèl ke nou gen nan nou an.
18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction,
Paske anpil moun mache, de sila mwen te souvan di nou yo, e koulye a mwen di nou ankò menm avèk dlo nan zye m, ke yo se lènmi lakwa a Kris la,
19 whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame; who mind earthly things) For our conversation is in heaven,
ki gen pou fen, destriksyon, ki gen pou dye pa yo apeti yo, e ki gen pou glwa yo, wont yo, ki fikse panse yo sou bagay tèrès yo.
20 from whence also we expect the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ: who will change our vile body,
Paske pou nou menm sitwayènte nou se nan syèl la. E soti nan li menm, n ap tann ak enpasyans yon Sovè, Senyè a, Jésus Kri,
21 that it may be made like his glorious body, according to the energy of his ability to subdue all things to Himself.
ki va transfòme move kò sila a, pou l vin konfòme ak kò laglwa pa Li a. Li va fè sa pa egzèsis a pouvwa ke Li genyen pou soumèt tout bagay anba otorite pa L.
